Which side of the plane to sit from Nizhny Novgorod Strigino International Airport (Nizhniy Novgorod) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the major landmarks, including the Volga-Oka confluence at takeoff, the skyline of Warsaw, and the iconic city center of Prague during the final approach.
Volga-Oka Confluence
A stunning aerial view of the meeting point of Russia's two great rivers immediately after departing Nizhny Novgorod.
Warsaw City Center
Clear views of the Vistula River, the National Stadium, and the modern skyscrapers of the Polish capital.
Bohemian Switzerland
Unique sandstone mountain formations and deep canyons in the northern part of the Czech Republic.
Prague Old Town
An incredible view of Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the red-roofed districts of the historic center during arrival.
The right side is the prime choice for photography. For the best views of Prague's city center, ensure you are seated behind the wing. Note that landings on Runway 24 (the most common) offer the most iconic views of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' from this side.
Moscow Southern Suburbs
Distant views of the expanding urban sprawl and high-rise developments south of the Russian capital.
Pripyat Marshes
Large areas of untouched wetlands and dense forest landscapes across the Belarusian-Polish border.
Sudetes Mountains
Rugged ridges of the Krkonoše range visible along the southern horizon near the Czech border.
Central Bohemian Highlands
Rolling hills and volcanic peaks characteristic of the landscape south of Prague during the descent.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid direct sunlight when flying westward in the afternoon. This side provides excellent views of the mountain ranges along the Czech border, which are particularly beautiful when snow-capped during the winter months.
